Veterans, both Gore and Kerry. Far more experienced, both Gore and Kerry, than GW Bush and Barack Obama.
Yet neither Gore nor Kerry could mount a successful campaign against a vastly inferior foe than the Republican running against Obama.
Since before Al Gore invented the Internet, even before John Kerry got a purple heart for a hangnail, lies have worked in political campaigns, and the bigger the lie the better. A journalist asked me today whether there was any substance to Obama's Ayers relationship. So don't think the voting population has evaluated and discounted this rumor. The very fact that reasonably informed people are talking about these attacks is not a good sign for Obama. These attacks still have the ability to derail him.
This race isn't over, and there are no chickens hatched here.
